Charlie and Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory was good. I’m a big fan of the Gene Wilder original, but they really did a good job with this one. Johnny Depp plays a different kind of Wonka, so it’s cool. He plays it pedo-creepy like Michael Jackson…

I tend to get really pissed off when comic book movies stray from theirsource materials. I was hurt when I learned Spider-Man‘s webs actually came from his wrists instead of web launchers that he made. But in the end this was forgivable because the good outweighed the bad…

Tonight was a big night for me. It seems that things have come full circle. In 1977, I remember going to the I-85 Twin Drive-In with my mother and sister in my mom’s mammoth 1973 Malibu Classic station wagon. We backed into the spot and popped the hatchback.

I’m a fan of the 1995 adaption of the Elmore Leonard novel Get Shorty. I loved the book, as I do most of the stuff that Leonard has written. His works translate so easily onto the big screen. After all, this is the man responsible for Jackie Brown, Out Of Sight, Mr. Majestyk and many others that I personally happen to love…

So I’m watching Pretty in Pink last night. The John Hughes-penned Pretty in Pink. Until recently, I assumed Pretty in Pink was actually directed by Mr. Hughes, but it turned out I was wrong. Howard Deutsch was behind the camera for this one…
